THE STAR LIVERY STABLES.

The Star Livery Stables of Mr..
B. f. Pickett, is Il of the land
marks of Scranton, and ii is a
noticeable fact they are now being
fitted up, cleaned, w~hitewashed and
otherwise put 10 order as though
no financial depression had ever
been felt 10 our community.
Through all the iOancial vicissi-
tudes of the past seventeen years
the Stat Livery Stables have never
varied in price, except in confOrmi-
ty with surrounding circumstances,
aud these prices have always been
uniform without respect to persons.
Good horses, nice comfortable bug
gies, neat and clean Offices, warmed
by stove in winter, prompt atten-
ton night aud day, characterize the
Star Livery Stables. Mr.. Pickett
has nov, in connection with his
stables a nice glass enclosed hearse,
as nice as can be had in any country
town, which he has fitted up so that
our people may enjoy the luxury of
a decent burial. With these rehec-
tons it must be seen that this iusti-
tuition Is u public benefit, and de-
serves the support of the citizens.

Now THE Reformed Presbyterians
have proclaimed war against the viola
ton of the Sabbath by the Postoffice
Department, and asked other churches
to unite with them 10 the onslaught
If is not clearly stated in our telegraphic
report what there pi9us people would
have to the P. o. D. do, or refrain from
doing, but 1t is presumed that the wish
is to bring about an absolute S.snd-still
on the Sabbath, so far as the handling
of the mails is concerned, the offices to
be closed or that day, and the distribu-
ton and delivery of mails to be delayed
until Monday. When the good people
succeed in their effort. they will, of
course, let Us all know all about it.
Meantime intelligent people will not ex-
perience any alarming degree of anxiety
over the matter.

CONCEALED WEAPONS.

The City Council, for some months
past, has been industriously at work
upon the revision Of the ordinances
preparatory to the publication of a
new volume containing the municipal
laws entire We understand the Labor
is approaching completion. Before the
work has been finished THE HERALD
desires to again suggest the abgolut
necessity for an ordinance forbidding
the carrying of concealed weapons, ex-
cept with specia! permits issued by the
Mayor or City Marshal 1t is pre-
sumed the Council has the right to
frame and adopt such an ordinance.
and if so there should be no delay in
exercising that right. 1t may not be
generally known, but it is fact never
theless, that a considerable pro-
portion of the men one meets
on Main and adjacent streets
are armed with pistols, slung-shots,
or other murderous weapons. These
weapons are carried for no good pur-
pose. They are not for defense, for
not one man in hundred has occasion
during life to use gun or knife to de-
tend himself against assault. In a com.
munity like this, where the people are
peaceful, quiet and law.abiding, it is
rare, indeed, that man is placed in a
situation where it is necessary for him
to employ or even exhibit weapon to
protect himself against the attacks of
Others. These people who create no
trouble, who are not carousers and dis
turbers of the peace, have neither de-
sire nor occasion for carrying concealed
weapons. The oth,r class should be
deprived OF the privilege of carrying
weapons, and the means OF executing
their criminal intentions lessened.
We believe if there were law forbid
ding men to carry weapons, there would
beless crime in the community. With 8
pistol at hand a man sometimes |
shoots when if he had to go away for a |
weapon, he would get over the notion of
shooting. The proposition is here-the |
man who intends no crime rarely car
Fl IS a weapon, because he seldom has
use for one, and most men of that
character will suffer imposition, wrong
and insult rather than show their re-
sentiment by shooting or cutting. Re-
strictions should be placed upon those
who are liable to use weapons for Grim
nal purposes. Other cities have ordip-
ances similar to the one we suggest,
and they are believed to be useful laws,
operating in the interest of peace and
seod order. The matter is worthy the
of the City Council, and
low is the time to adopt the ordinance.

SOME PARTIES appear to be frightened
by the prospect of an alleged monopoly
in the illumination business. Fortu-
nately these fears are groundless, or
should be, as the elements of a mono
poly do not exist if people care to help
themselves. The gas company's ex-
elusive franchise has but few years to
run, when any responsible association
will be permitted to come in and COM
pete for the business. As to the electric
light, there can be no monopoly in that
unless people prefer to have it so. There
are electric lights and patents without
number, and there is no string hold
ing any body back from bringing them
here. If anyone thinks he can
furnish light cheaper than it is
being supplied, there will be no
opposition to his trying it on; that is
to say, no opposition which can pre-
vail against his trial; and if he can
supply a cheaper light he'll get the
patronage. A monopoly which doesn't
have control of the situation isn't much
of a monopoly, and need not be feared.
We do not believe any monopoly bust
ness is intended by the purchase of the
electric light by the gas company, but
if such is the purpose, and it shall be
attempted, it will be an easy matter to
put stop to it.

though it is fact that this side OF the
republic has produced some of the
ablest and most brilliant statesmen,
Jurists and legislators, while it is con-
ceded by those who are familiar with
the truth that the west is in as high
state of civilization as any part of the
nation. 1t would broaden the Presi-
dents views if he were to cross the
continent and visit the well-built
cities, see the bright, intelligent faces,
and hear the loyal shouts OF the
mighty communities SO firmly
established and so thrifty in this
land which he half believes
is little better than a wilderness. In
his earlier life General Grant lived on
the Pacific short time, but he knew
little of the western half of the nation
until he came as President. There
after he never tired of talking about this
end of the Republic and the necessity
Of recognizing fully its Importance TO
the nation. If there be one person
more than an other who should know
something of evey section of the Re-
public it is the Precedent. 1t would be
well if it were obligatory on the Chief
Executive TO make the tour of the
nation at least once during an Official
term, as such tour would not only en-
large his ideas and better fit him for
the just performance of his duties, but
would also bring the people
and the President nearer to each |
other. Mr.. Cleveland could spend
a few weeks more proftably
to himself and the nation in trans
tour, than in casting flies
or trout in the brooks and lakes of the
Adirondacks.

UNNECESSARY ALARM.

The alarm which the Germans are
represented as feeling over the proba-
BILE fatal termination of Crown Prince
Frederick Williams malady cannot
be said to arise from a fear that the
throne will be left without an cccu-
pant. The old Emperor himself is not
yet dead, and is likely to hold on some
years yet. But should he die, the
Crown Prince has three or four sons,
and then there is lot of buxom girls
who could manage affairs very well
with the assistance of Bismarck.
Victoria, of Great Britain, is the grand
mother of this brood of princes and
princesses, and she knows how to rule
an empire quite as well as any
Hohenzollern who ever lived. II
woman can manage Great Britain
successfully for half century,
woman could very well stand at the
head of Germany with its many wise
men and real statesmen. And then,
suppose all the royal sons and
daughters were to pass away,
couldn't Germany maintain an exist
ence without great suffering? France,
her near neighbor, has had nothing to
do with royalty for fully half genera
ton, and to-day finds itself stronger
healthier, more prosperous and emf
nently more cOntented than at aDV time
since it became civilized nation. What
France can do and more, Germany can
do, as has been demonstrated. There
is no such good or i'll luck. as may be
preferred, in store for Germany as a
failure of legitimate successors to the
throne, but if there were we believe it
would be better for the empire in a
national and a social sense.

COME WEST.

Every body will be sorry that the
President is not coming west; not that
his coming would benefit anybody out
this way. but it would help the Presi-
dent in that it would enlarge his ideas
as to the vastness and the development
OF the great nation over which he tenn
porarily presides. Persons who have
lived ali their lives east of the Missis-
sippi have only vague ideas of the En-
pire of the West. They entertain an
impression. more o. less defined in
their minds, that we are q rowdy gang
on this side of the river; that we are
saugh and uncouth in manner, de-
fighting in the recreations OF the cowboy
living much as the Indians live, and
only semi-civilized generally. Especially
have our Presidents acted as if they
thought the far west were long dis
lance behind the east in the matters of
able, capable people and social and in
dustrisl development and progress.
Very few men from the west have
been called into the national councils,

LOCAL NEWS.

Last Thursday Deputy Sheriff
Frank Wilson received a telegram
stating that a horse had been stolen
in the north part of the county and a
cOlored man was the suspected thief.
As Mr. Wilson came down from Paw
nee Rock on the evening train he saw
a man riding horse which answered
the description. He came to the city,
got a vehicle and set out in pursuit,
overtaking his man near Pawnee
Rock. He was brought back, and
Friday morning had an examining
trial before Squire auckland. He
plead guilty and was sent to Jail. At
the time the horse was stolen barn
was stirred and considerable loss entailed
thereby. The supposition is that the
thief, whose name is Carter, fired the
barn, hoping thereby to escape, as he
supposed thas the owner would at
once conclude that the horse had per-
ished IN the flames.
Thomas Dent, living twelve miles
due west, came in last week and re-

may result in bringing many friend.
of Mr.. Dent to Sunny Kansas" and

Last Saturday, the 18th, the
great State of Kansas was twenty-six
years of age. On the same day the
editor of the DEMOCRAT passed the
&wenty-Ainth milestone of existence.

State has outstripped the editor in ac
cumula1ng wealth. However. let thi:
not discourage the craft
Anthony Gruber, who lives five
miles northwest of Great Bend, came
into our sanctum last Saturday and
chatted pleasantly with us for awhile.
Mr.. Gruber came to this county when
Great Bend had only one house. He
is, therefore, an old settler, although
o young man yet.
j. A. Coons, of Gere, came in last
Saturday and deposited the '-sinews Of
war" for the DEMOCRAT, for which we
express our thanks. Mr.. Coons is a
staunch democrat and realizes that the
way to aid the party is to help sustain
its paper. May others profit by his
good example.
Our genial young friend Henry
Huffman, of Ellinwood, made us a
pleasant call last Saturday. He is
deservedly one of the most popular
young men in the county, and we pre-.
dict bright future for him.
